am thinking of changing my 182

[DNP182]

right...i've i had my 182 for nearly 3yrs from new. it has 38000 on the clock and will be out of warranty in january. i am thinking of getting an r27...if there are any still available. two questions - how much do you think i my 182 would be worth on a trade in? how much do you think i should be aiming at dealing on an r27 for? cheers

Well, for a trade in you should get about £7000 - £7500

You can get a basic R27 for £13995 but you should easily be able to get 10% off any extras (climate/xenons etc) without any hassle.

I believe that are still in the 300's at the moment as I have seen a picture of one numbered as 294 so there should still be time if you are quick.

That seems very low to me. my mate traded in his bog standard 1.2 fiesta for a seat leon and got £5500 for it...roughly the same age as my 182 but with about 10000 fewer miles. i was thinking that it should be worth around £7000-75000. I would like to think that i would be offered more than 6k for it.

I only got offered £7.2K for my June '05 182 with Cup Suspensio Pack and 19K on the clock (was looking at a Skoda Octavia VRS). Decided against it because of the low price...

You'll be disappointed with the performance of the R27 if you've not driven one.

I'd reconsider and look at an R26 although they aren't without their issues reliability wise.

I got offerd 6.8k on a trade in for a Seat Leon Cupra today. That does seem the going rate, i don't think it'll get more than 7k .

I'm Going to another Seat dealer today, and what makes it worse is there are no deals on the Cupra whatsoever, they just can't meet demand!

I'm looking for a 182 at the minute and it seems they have taken a bit of a hit, going to view one at a trade garage next week which is a 54 plate, Artic Blue with 22k miles and its up for 7k ono

i wouldnt think that the performance would be significantly different to my 182. at the end of the day, it is very unlikely that i will ever get anywhere near the top speed on either of these cars. 0-60 there would be nothing in it. i think that the r27 would be a lot fresher looking, bit more stylish inside. however...it really depends what i would be offered for my own before changing!

Asking on here what you'll get is pretty pointless imo . All dealersships will offer you different amounts depending on what deal you you can come to on a new car .

Have a look on autotrader to get a rough idea of what they are going for but be prepared to get your ass raped if you do part ex . Selling private is the only way you'll get anywhere near it's true value , but then you have the inconvenience of having to wait for somebody to want to come and view yours and part with some hard earned and you could be waiting weeks .

Ive just had a look on Autotrader and in the north west there is a hell of a lot of 182 going for 7-8k privet and trade , some with 22k on the clock!

Imo people bought them as a nice little nippy car, they are not car enthusiasts like us , so there just trying to shift them on and the market is flooded with 182's , so there letting them go for peanuts!

With regards to performance I think you had better take a look:

Thanks
